Are two displays better than one?

THE ZenBook Pro Duo was unveiled at Computex 2019 in Taipei earlier this year. It is the flagship of Asus's ZenBook range and also what the brand calls the "laptop of tomorrow". Essentially, it's a powerful 15-inch notebook with an eight-core processor, discrete NVIDIA RTX graphics, loads of memory, and two displays.

Two displays?! Yes. I kid you not.

The main display measures 15.6 inches across and uses an OLED panel that supports 4K resolution (3,840 x 2,160 pixels). It's an impressive and stunning display, easily one of the best displays I have seen on any laptop. Unfortunately, its glossy finish means it's highly prone to glare and reflections.The second display, called ScreenPad Plus, sits just under the main one and above the keyboard. It's an IPS panel and measures 14 inches across. Though it sounds large, it's considerably smaller than the main one because of its 32:9 aspect ratio. It also has a matte finish, which Asus says prevents reflecting content from the main display.
